b. Run the showfaults command to obtain additional fault information.
The fault is captured by ALOM CMT CLI, where the fault is logged, the Service
Required LED is lit, and the faulty component is disabled.
Example:
In this example, /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR2/CH0/D0 is disabled. The system can boot
using memory that was not disabled until the faulty component is replaced.
Note – You can use ASR commands to display and control disabled components. See
Section 1.8, “Managing Components With Automatic System Recovery Commands”
on page 1-43.
1.5.5 Clearing POST Detected Faults
In most cases, when POST detects a faulty component, POST logs the fault and
automatically takes the failed component out of operation by placing the component
in the ASR blacklist (see Section 1.8, “Managing Components With Automatic System
Recovery Commands” on page 1-43).
In most cases, the replacement of the faulty FRU is detected when the service
processor is reset or power cycled. In this case, the fault is automatically cleared from
the system. This procedure describes how to identify POST detected faults and, if
necessary, manually clear the fault.
